Excerpts from the diary about the attempt to reverse a vase reconstruction:
Diary about the attempt to reverse a process
10 found fragments. An experiment with shards found on a staircase in Stöðvarfjörður: Does anyone know anything about the history of the vase? I posted it on Instagram, but I didn't get a response.
I reconstruct the vase and returned it to the place where it was found.I got information about the story of the house: it is the accommodation for workers in the fishing industry or other businesses. Most of them only live there on a daily basis. The house could have been the old postoffice.
After some days: The vase was probably knocked over by the wind. After the first time, I simply put it upright again. The second time it fell down the stairs. It is now supported by a wooden base that has been temporarily glued together with hot glue. This time the vase contained flowers to be noticed.
After the third fall, there are now 14 shards instead of 10. I decide not to damage the vase any more and put the pieces back where I found them, one by one, just as I found them."
